Timothy: Ian, come on.
I've been studying this sort
of mythology half my life.
To see this creature come
to life --

ian: You need to stay right
here in manhattan.
Tell your mom thanks for taking
care of the boy, ok?

Timothy: Ah, she loves it.

Ian: At least until this
avatar thing is gone.

Timothy: It's no problem.
As long as you need.

Ian: Ok.

Timothy: Looking for someone,
are we?

Ian: What?

Timothy: Well, I can't help
but noticing that we've come
to this place every night since
you got here.
You wouldn't, per chance,
be hoping to accidently
on purpose run into someone?

Ian: Come on, timmy.
No -- no comment, all right?

Timothy: All right.
Have it your way.

Ian: Where you going?

Timothy: I have to use
the phone.
I'll be right back.

Kate: If you're following me,
I'm going to be very angry.

Rafe: So, you two are back
together?

Jamal: Yeah, we had a good
thing once and -- actually,
it was a great thing.
So we actually both realized
and came to our senses
and realized it was worth
fighting for everything.
And, you know, we're back
together.
Isn't that right, spunky?

Alison: Jamal --

jamal: Come on, you don't --
look, you don't have to hide it
anymore, ok?
Rafe -- I mean, he doesn't mind.
He's happily married
with livvie, right?
So why don't you tell her.
Tell her that we're --
it's good.
You're happy that we're
together.

Lucy: Colleen, i am so sorry
to keep bothering you, but just
if doc checks in, if he calls
in or anything, could you please
just tell him to call home right
away, ok?
Yeah, ok.
Thanks. Ta.

[Phone rings]

lucy: Doc?
Hello?
Hello. Anybody there?
Answer me!

Victor: I checked everywhere
i could think of.
Nobody's seen monk.
But I --
lucy, are you all right?

Lucy: No.
I can't -- i can't do this
again.
I can't face losing him again.
I can't --

Victor: Not necessarily.
Now, he might just be delayed
with a patient.

Lucy: I don't think that's
what happened at all.
I -- i know he's missing,
victor.
I can feel it.

ian: Kate.
What a surprise.

Kate: Is it?

Ian: I'm not following you.

Kate: Oh, no, of course not.
You just happened to be
in the neighborhood?

Ian: No, I'm here
for a reason.

Kate: Which is?

Ian: I'm leaving danny
with a friend.

Kate: Leaving him?

Ian: Until this avatar thing
is settled.

Kate: Did something happen?
Did he threaten danny again?

Ian: I just don't want him
in the line of fire.

Kate: I'm sorry, ian.

Timothy: I see I was right.

Kate: Right about what?

Ian: Uh --
tim, this is kate.
Tim dolan, kate reynolds.

Timothy: Very nice to meet
you, kate.

Kate: Likewise.
I'm sorry.
I've taken your chair.

Timothy: That's ok,
that's ok.
I have to be going anyway.

Kate: Are you sure?

Timothy: Positive.
Dr. Thornhart is all yours.
There you go.
Ian, my boy, talk to you later.

Ian: Thanks again
for everything.

Timothy: Yeah.
Nice meeting you.

Kate: Likewise.
Are you sure i wasn't
interrupting something?

Ian: No.
It's good to see you.

Kate: You, too.

Ian: Um --
what's it like being back
in the city?

Kate: It's good.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good to be home.

Ian: Have you eaten dinner?
Do you want to join me?

Kate: Yeah.
Yeah, that would be nice.

Ian: Come on.
Sorry.

Ian: Ahem.
I have to tell you,
I'm a wee bit surprised.

Kate: About what?

Ian: I don't know.
I thought you'd be here
with your boyfriend.
You know, I thought you would've
worked things out by now.

Kate: Well, nothing's
changed.
Everything's just the same.

Ian: I don't get it.

Kate: What?

Ian: Well, you know, you quit
your job, you move here and --
and this boyfriend of yours --
he sounds like a real jerk
to me.

Kate: How dare you.
You don't know him, ian.
You don't know him at all.
Don't talk about him that way.

Jamal: We can all talk about
this as civilized adults, right?
I mean, rafe, it doesn't bother
you that ali and i are back
together, does it?

Alison: You don't have
to answer that because jamal --

rafe: You know what?
Um -- of course not.
Of course it doesn't bother me.
I mean, you know, if this is
what you want, alison, i mean,
I think it's great, you know?
You deserve to be happy --

jamal: You know what?
It's what we both want, ok?
I mean, the simple fact
of the matter is, is that alison
and I -- we never stopped loving
each other.
And nothing's ever changed that
and nothing ever will, ok?

Marissa: Oh, really?
That's news to me.

Ian: I'm sorry.
All I was saying is he doesn't
deserve a woman like you.

Kate: You don't understand.

Ian: I don't understand what?

Kate: It wasn't always like
this.
He wasn't always like this.

Ian: No?

Kate: No.
No.
Brennan and I used to be very
close.
We did everything together.
We --
we traveled and we had parties
and we had a really wonderful
life and we had plans
for the future.

Ian: What changed?

Kate: Everything.
I ruined everything.

Ian: You talking about this
business with you working too
much -- is that it?

Kate: Yes, because i did.
You know, nothing could get
between me and my ambition.
I -- i put work before
everything.
I put it before him and I put it
before us, so there's really
no one to blame but me.

Ian: Come on, kate.

Kate: So i'm not going to let
you or anyone else paint brennan
out to be the bad guy
because he's not.
Because I know how hard he tried
and I know what an incredible
person he is.

Ian: I never said he wasn't
an incredible person.
He must be for you to be this
devoted.

Kate: Well, I'm devoted now.
So i can't let anyone interfere
with that.
I think dinner was a bad idea.
I'm going to get going.

Ian: Wait a second.

Kate: No.
You have a nice dinner,
and -- and maybe you can get
your friend back, ok?

Ian: Kate --
why do you keep running from me?

Jamal: Um, marissa,
let me -- let me buy you a drink
and I can explain all this, ok?

Marissa: You guys are back --
back together?
Is that what i heard you say,
jamal?
You --

alison: No, no, that's --
jamal --

jamal: Look, it's a long --
it's a long story, ok?
So i'll just tell it to you over
that drink --

marissa: I don't believe
this.
No!
Look, I asked you straight up
if you were over alison,
and you said yes, jamal.
You said yes, but you lied?

Jamal: Marissa --

marissa: No, no!
You lied because what?
What, jamal?
Because you wanted to get me
into bed?
Is that why you lied?

Jamal: No.
Look, if we could just --

marissa: God, no.

Jamal: That's not how it was,
ok?

Marissa: I can't believe
this.
You actually made me believe
that we had something,
that you cared, and all this
time you were still hung up
on alison?

Jamal: No, no, that's not how
it was, marissa.
Ok, look -- if we can just go
somewhere and discuss this
in private --

marissa: No, I'm not going
anywhere with you.
No, you are nothing
but a low-down, lying,
two-timing --

alison: No, don't --
please.
This is getting out of control
really fast.
I appreciate what you're doing.
I do.
But I told you it wouldn't work.

Jamal: Ok, alison, look --

alison: No.

Jamal: It's fine.
All we got to do is work out
a couple of things, and we'll be
fine.

Marissa: "A couple
of things"?

Alison: Look.
Look, look, look, look.
Jamal and I -- we are not back
together.
We are just friends.

Marissa: What?

Alison: He is just trying
to help me out --

marissa: Excuse me --
help you out?

Jamal: Yeah, um --
she's telling the truth.
Ok, we're not back together
and we're not in love
or anything and I didn't lie
to you.

Marissa: Jamal, i don't
understand.

Rafe: Yeah, me -- me,
neither.
What the hell is going on here?
Why would you two lie to me?
Why did you tell me that -- that
you're still together?
You know --
oh, my god.
Did you do this for me?

Alison: No.

Rafe: You want to make a fool
out of me?
You want to manipulate me?

Alison: No.

Rafe: That's it, isn't it?

Victor: All right,
lucy, now, i know you're afraid,
and with what we've all been
through, god knows i wouldn't
blame you, but -- but you've got
to try to stay calm.
You can't go leaping
to conclusions.

Lucy: Fine. Ok.
How do you suggest i stay calm?

Victor: Simply by remembering
that, at this point, we have
no reason to believe that kevin
is in any difficulty at all.

Lucy: Ok.
Ok, you're right.
Any minute, he's just going
to walk right through that door
and say --

victor: With a big hug
and a kiss for you and
the girls.

Lucy: Oh, the girls.
Oh, I am so glad they're staying
at scott's tonight.
I don't think I could face them.
Why hasn't he called?
Victor, why hasn't he called?

Victor: Lucy --

lucy: I should've heard
from him by now.

Victor: Lucy --

lucy: I need to hear
from him.
I don't know where he is,
and I want to know!

[Knock on door]

lucy: He forgot his key.
It's got to be doc.
Doc!
He forgot his key!
I always tell him to make a key,
but he never does -- hi, mac.

Mac: Lucy, I got your call.
I came as soon as I could.
Victor, hi.

Victor: Mac.

Mac: What's going on?
Kevin really isn't missing
again?

Victor: Well, we don't know
for sure that --

lucy: He -- he is.
Mac, he is.
Something has happened.
I can feel it.
You know -- you know me.
You know how i am when i get
these feelings.
I'm not wrong.

Mac: All right, all right.
Slow down.
Sit down.
I need to --

lucy: Ok.

Mac: Let's start
at the beginning.

Lucy: All right. Fine.
What?

Mac: Let's start
with the basics.
When was the last time you saw
kevin?

Lucy: It -- it was hours ago.

Mac: And you're this worried?
Lucy, it really hasn't been that
long.

Lucy: No, I -- it has.
Something has definitely
happened because, you see,
I was -- i've been waiting
for him.
He -- he knew I'd be waiting
on pins and needles here.

Mac: Did you guys have
a fight or something?

Lucy: No!
No.
No, not at all.
It's nothing like that.
It's just -- he was doing
something, and he knew i'd be
very anxious to hear about it.

Mac: What did he have
to go do?

Lucy: He was going to meet
livvie.

Mac: What was he going
to meet livvie about?

Victor: Lucy, we need to know
everything.

Lucy: I know, and I'd like
to tell you, but i -- I don't
want to share a confidence that
kevin has shared with me unless
i know it's happening.
Let me just tell you this much,
ok?
He found out some information
that was pretty disturbing about
livvie and he went to confront
her about it, but he never got
there.

Victor: It was the constable,
jasmine island.
He keeps an eye on the house
for me.

Lucy: Jasmine island?
Jasmine island!
Oh, doc --

victor: Monk was seen there
earlier today.

Lucy: Oh, my gosh!

Mac: Why would he go
to jasmine island?

Victor: I haven't got a clue.
Nothing good has ever happened
in that place.

Mac: I've seen that
for myself.

Victor: That's the last place
we were together as a family --
me, melanie, kevin, and ryan.

Mac: I know.
I know what happened there.
Facing it nearly killed kevin.
I had a front-row seat.
I didn't think he'd make it
through it.

Victor: I thought we were
past all the terrible things
that happened in that house.

Lucy: Victor, listen to me.
You are past all of that.
We all are.
Doc is past that.
I don't think this is -- this
isn't about the past.
This is about what's going
on right now and about all
the demons doc used to face.
I think he's so afraid that
maybe livvie has to face those
demons now.

Victor: Lucy, that doesn't
make any sense.

Lucy: It does.
It actually does.
It makes some sort of horrible
kind of sense.
Don't you know?
Kevin is so afraid all his life
that those demons -- all that
evil, all that craziness -- is
going to fill him back up again.
And now he's not worried about
himself.
He is worried that that insanity
is going to happen to livvie.

Victor: When will that horror
ever end?

Mac: Do you think he went
there to face down those demons
again, to remind himself that
he can beat the odds?

Lucy: No, mac, i don't think
that's it at all.
I think he went there
because of livvie.
I think he's so worried.
He doesn't know what to do
for livvie.
He doesn't know how to help her.
Oh, my gosh, i should've seen
this coming.
He was under so much stress
with that stupid portrait
and being gone and now
everything going on with livvie.
I should've seen it coming.
I got to -- I got to go
to jasmine island.

Victor: No, no, lucy, no --

lucy: I am going.
I got to find him.

Victor: He's not there.

Lucy: What do you mean,
he's not there?
Where is he?

Victor: He was seen leaving.

Lucy: What?
Where did he go?

Victor: Nobody has
the slightest idea.

Mac: Well, then the question
is, if kevin didn't find what
he was looking for on jasmine
island, where did he go?

Lucy: I have no idea.
None.

Ian: Why do you keep running
away from me?

Kate: I told you, I --
I can't get involved with you.

Ian: What are you talking
about, involved with me?
We're having dinner.
We're not doing anything wrong
here.

Kate: I feel like I am.

Ian: Why?

Kate: Do you really have
to ask?

Ian: Yeah.
What are you talking about?

Kate: What are you doing
here, ian?

Ian: I told you, I'm --

kate: What are you doing here
in this restaurant that you know
i always come to?
Why are you here?

Ian: I wanted to see you.
I've missed you.

Man: How long you think
you could hide from me?

Kate: Sam, i --

sam: Forget it.
Save your excuses.
I've had it with you.

Ian: Who the hell are you?

Kate: No, ian, don't --
don't --
I will speak with you
at the bar.
If you go over there, I'll be
there in a minute.

Sam: No.
We'll talk right here,
right now.

Ian: The lady told you --

sam: I don't care what
the lady told me because now i'm
telling her.
I cut you some slack,
ms. Reynolds, because
of your situation.
But now you went and bounced
another check, so I got
no choice but to cancel
our little arrangement.
But first you're going to pay up
in full, and this time i want it
in cash.

Rafe: I'm just having a hard
time believing that you'd
actually do something like this.

Jamal: No, no, hold up, rafe.
Look, this was all my idea, ok?
I was just being a friend
to alison, trying to help
her out.
That's it.

Marissa: Oh, yeah, and that's
just wonderful, jamal.
You didn't even think about how
i would feel, now, did you?

Jamal: Marissa -- marissa,
I didn't even have any idea
you would walk in on this, ok?

Marissa: Oh, no, of course
not, because you just wanted
to make me look like a fool
behind my own back, right?

Jamal: No, no --

marissa: No.
You know what, jamal?
I am so not interested in being
your consolation prize, ok?
So, you know, I --

Marissa: No! No!
No, no, no, no, I don't want
to talk about it, ok?
Ok?
I've just had a really rotten
night.
I want to get out of here.
I want to go home.

Jamal: Ok, wait, just --

marissa: No.
Leave me alone, jamal.

Jamal: Wow.
Me and my bright ideas.

Alison: Well, you better go
after her.

Jamal: Yeah, but --

alison: No, I can take care
of it, thanks.
Go on.

Jamal: Look, rafe --
never mind.

Rafe: Just go.

Jamal: Yeah, I'm out.

Alison: Ok.
I didn't mean for any of that
to happen.
It all sort of got a little
twisted.
I just --
you really believe me,
don't you?

Rafe: Listen, alison, I got
a lot going on in my life right
now, you know?
I got real problems to deal
with.
So the last thing I need is
someone else to be lying to me
and you and your friend to be
screwing with my head, ok?

Alison: I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean for any of that
to happen.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. All right, ok.
It's ok.
But I got to go.

Mac: Ok.
Great. Thanks.
All right, it's all set.
Every cop I can spare will be
looking for kevin.

Lucy: Ok.
Thank you.
You know what a good friend
you are to us.
Thanks.

Mac: Well, just try not
to worry, lucy.

Lucy: Ugh --

mac: I know that's like
saying try not to breathe,
but kevin will be all right.
He always is.

Lucy: Right, right.
Ok, where do we start, though?
You know, I figure if we split
up, we can cover more ground
and find him.
What?

Victor: Lucy, mac's right.
If kevin's in trouble,
he's going to need you, and he's
going to need you to be where
he expects to find you.

[Lucy sighs]

lucy: Fine, fine.
You're right.
Would you please find him?

Mac: You know we will.
All right, come on, let's go.

Lucy: Ok, ok, find him.
Victor, you find him.
Ok.

Victor: Ok.

Lucy: Ok.
Doc.
Doc, why'd you do it?
Why did you go to jasmine
island?
Why?
Oh, I wish i was with you.
I hate to think of what
you might be going through right
now.
I just hate to see you suffering
like this.
Oh, doc.

[Door opens]

lucy: Victor?
Doc.
Oh, doc.
Oh, my -- my god, you're ok.
Oh, I was so worried about you.
Where have you been?
Oh, doc, i was so scared.
I am so glad you're home.
I'm so, so glad.
